PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS.

ROOM PREPARATION.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FLOORING SOLUTION.

In order to ensure correct installation, it is essential to observe all the provided instructions. Please contact your local distributor in case you are unable to comply with any of them, in order to fi nd a way to minimize or prevent possible negative consequences.

· Prior to installation, tiles must be site-conditioned for at least two days (48 hours) at the average room temperature at which they will be used.

· Store the product indoors. Keep tiles away from direct solar radiation, as it can cause dimensional and color alterations.

· Check tile interlocking, colors and general appearance BEFORE installation.

·Please report any anomaly found to your local distributor or to our email support@pavigym.com before proceeding. Once installed, products will not be reimbursable.

For further information check our warranty conditions at the end of this manual.

· Install PAVIGYMTM after concluding any brickwork, plumbing, electric, air conditioning, glazing, painting and any other work that could wear or damage the fl ooring.

· Protect from direct sunlight or any other heat source that could cause temperatures above 40ºC in the fl ooring solution. Install protective fi lm on your windows and save energy all year long. Visit www.3M.com and go to the solar window fi lm section for more information. Ask for an offi cial 3M installer to ensure the quality of the installation.

· PAVIGYMTM should be installed between 15ºC and 25ºC. Ideally, installation should take place at the temperature the room will be used at, in to avoid temperature differences between the recently installed product and the product once in use.

SUBFLOOR PREPARATION.

DRY LAY SOLUTIONS (NON-GLUED).RELATED PRODUCTS:

CONCRETE BASED SUBFLOORS:

DRY: Subfloor must be dry. A good reference for the humidity is a maximum of 3.5% MC (measured with a surface moisture meter).

FLAT: Polished concrete, well-placed self leveling compound on a concrete floor or sand-cement based subfloors are very good solutions. A maximum level variation of 5mm / 3m should be your reference. If your subfloor requires a screed, contact an official installer from Thomsit, Uzin, Sika, Bostik, Mapei or other brands in your region.

CLEAN: No remnants of plaster. Brush or vacuum the subfloor carefully just before installation.

RAISED WOODEN AND COMPUTER FLOORING:

SOLID: A strong wooden structure with a minimum of 18mm hardboard on top. The less it vibrates, the better. Not solid or vibrating subfloors, as they make it difficult to interlock the tiles properly. In case of computer raised floors, follow manufacturer instructions regarding the stability of the structure beneath.

FLAT: Hardboards or computer raised tiles have to be placed on the same level, and left flush. Differences and joins between the edges will mark the flooring in the long term. We recommend using plywood, OSB or other hardboard types with tongue & groove (T&G) edges.

CLEAN: No remnants of plaster or sawdust. Brush or vacuum the subfloor carefully just before installation.

NOTES:

1. Take into account that wooden subfloors will suffer from color deviation if you remove the PAVIGYMTM flooring after a significant period of time. 2. Before installing, ensure that the subfloor is free from moisture or condensation problems. Should any problems exist, use a waterproof coating before installing PAVIGYMTM. 3. PAVIGYMTM cannot be installed dry lay on subfloors fitted with radiant heating. Check section “Glued Solutions” in this chapter for the correct subfloor installation instructions. The installation of PAVIGYMTM on subfloors with radiant heating must ALWAYS be with glue.4. PAVIGYMTM is not intended for use on top of carpet or elastic surfaces, as they will cause defective tile interlocking.

Should you have any doubts, please contact our Customer Service Department via email at: support@pavigym.com

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRY LAY.TOOLS.

RELATED PRODUCTS:

INSTRUCTIONS:

Use a chalk line or laser to mark two reference lines (parallel to the main walls) in the middle of the room creating a cross on the fl oor, so that you are able to check if tiles are lined up correctly while installing.Check if the lines are 90º. If not, one of the reference lines will have to be corrected.

Check (measure) to ensure leaving full tiles in the most visible areas (entrance, doors, long walls, etc.) and avoid exaggerated tile wastage. If the fl oor has markings and/or zoning in the design, check also the location of these tiles before continuing with the install.

For grained colors, ensure the pattern is always facing in the same direction (the PAVIGYMTM logo in the middle of the tile can help you to identify this quickly). If the fl oor has markings and/or zoning in the design, check their pattern fi rst, as they will dictate the direction of the rest.

Check tile interlocking, color and general appearance before installing, or carry out a small dry lay fi rst (4-5 tiles at a time) to ensure a perfect result.

Start installing in the centre of the room (see Installation Plan: Initial Tile), and continue installing tiles in a spiral format around the initial tile. Keep checking the reference lines. To fi t the tiles, press the interlocking down until the joint surface between the tiles is fl at. Use a light pressure roller or rubber mallet (see tools) to reinforce the joints. Do this with caution (low inertia with mallet). You can facilitate this process by wetting the interlocking with a small water spray device (no additives needed).Never force or stress tiles while installing. If you need to do so, it means that previous tiles have not been fi tted properly.

Leave perimeter tile fitting for the end, providing the corresponding security allowance (gap of 5-10mm). This gap needs to be provided around the complete perimeter, columns and all construction-related elements (see expansion gap section).

Review the final appearance of the installation, checking for anomalies. Remember that you can switch tile positions to improve the final aesthetic in terms of colors or any other possible effects.

Finally, equipment can be placed on the flooring taking maximum care. Never drag machines. Carry them if possible, or use trolleys with inflatable wheels (not small-sized trolleys with compact wheels). You can use thin hardboard to protect the flooring when moving heavy equipment.

Check tile interlocking, color and general appearance before installing, or carry out a small dry lay first (4-5 tiles at a time) to ensure a perfect result.

Once you have checked all measurements and the location of the initial tiles has been marked (see Installation Plan: Initial Tile), you can apply the adhesive on the subfloor for the first four tiles (with a V-notched trowel leaving 250gr/m2 approx). Depending on the subfloor, adhesive and temperature, you will have to wait between 10-30min before putting the tiles down (see adhesive manufacturer instructions for open time, consumption, etc).

To fit the tiles, press the interlocking down until the joint surface between the tiles is flat. Use a light pressure roller or rubber mallet (see tools) to reinforce the joints. Do this with caution (low inertia with mallet).Then, rub over the whole area.

You can now apply adhesive around the initial tiles. Check if tiles are lined up with the chalk line every time you add a spiral. Be careful not to apply more adhesive than necessary (excessive adhesive will rise between the interlocking and soil the PAVIGYMTM tiles). If tiles get soiled, remove immediately with a humid cloth.Never force or stress tiles while installing. If you need to do so, it means that previous tiles have not been fitted properly.

After approx every 20 minutes rub down hard again or roll with an appropriate floor roller. Ensure good transfer to the backing of the covering. Before rubbing or rolling, review the appearance of the installation, checking for anomalies. Remember that at this point, you can still switch tile position to improve the final aesthetic, in terms of colors or any other possible effects.

Leave perimeter tile fitting for the end, providing the corresponding security allowance (gap of 5-10mm). This gap needs to be provided around the complete perimeter, columns and all construction-related elements (see expansion gap section).

Once the installation has been concluded, leave to dry completely for at least 24 hours before use.

Finally, equipment can be placed on the flooring taking maximum care. Never drag machines. Carry them if possible, or use trolleys with inflatable wheels (not small-sized trolleys with compact wheels). You can use thin hardboard to protect the flooring when moving heavy equipment.

EXPANSION GAP.

Please provide a 5-10mm allowance (safety margin) between the tiles and ANY WALLS OR COLUMNS.

This safety margin will relieve the eventual expansions and contractions caused by temperature changes or mechanical stress.

For PAVIGYMTM Tatami and Paviplay products, you will need to provide a safety margin of 20-25mm.

Measure the trim line taking into account the safety margin (see expansion gap section).

Make a light cut along the previous trim line using a wide cutter.

Finally, make a defi nitive cut through the whole tile. Depending on the thickness of the product, another cutting run may be required before carrying out the defi nitive one.

NOTES: 1. Take extra care when cutting tiles and avoid very small cuts. Never cut towards your hands or own body to avoid injuries.2. Note that personalized tiles, logos and zoning tiles are unique and a wrong cut can lead to additional costs as you will have to place a new order to replace the damaged tile.

INSTALLATION PLAN.

Please find below an example of an installation plan. It will be sent to the customer by email and a hard copy will be included with the order (see important documents folder in one of the pallets).

NOTES: · Not all orders avail of this service.

17

· Never use black-rubber protection on: chairs, furniture or machine foots. Use plastic or non-dying rubber pads (clear and non-oiled colours). · Use mats on entrance areas. · DO NOT USE polishing wheels, sand, metallic brushes on the floor, nor steam cleaners. · NEVER start any alteration or repair work without protecting the floor surface adequately. · PREVENT spilling acid (bathroom products, fruit juices, vinegar, spirits); alkaloids (bleach, butyl cleaning products); petrochemical products (cleaning products containing oils, grease, solvents or abrasive components) on the floor.

HEAVY MACHINERY. · When moving heavy equipment over PAVIGYMTM, keep in mind that the small wheels fitted on the equipment are intended for use on totally rigid floors, with no flexibility, and therefore they have to be moved by means of trolleys with inflatable wheels (or by hand, if possible). · Avoid dragging machinery over PAVIGYMTM without protecting it. · To avoid scratching or causing permanent damage to the flooring solution, use an adequate protectionunder the furniture and the equipment.

STATIC ELECTRICITY. · Under certain conditions, during installation and during the days following installation, slight static electric discharges can result from the isolating nature of the flooring. This can be treated very easily by applying Jontec Destat to your cleaning water. Ask for instruction through support@pavigym.com or use other antistatic detergents. SPORTS SHOES. · PAVIGYMTM has been designed for use with sports footwear. Regular or high-heels shoes can damage the flooring solution. · PAVIGYMTM Tatami has been designed for barefoot use.

AROMAS.· New tiles can release a light aroma. With appropriate ventilation and with the post installation cleaning the smell will dissipate within 1 or 2 weeks.

HEAT SOURCES / RADIATORS Provide at least a 50 cm clearance above the PAVIGYMTM surface. Use insulation materials to prevent temperature from rising above 40 ºC.

DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Prevent the floor from direct sunlight exposure. It can cause thermal expansion and subsequent shrinkage. Use solar filters or blinds to prevent excessive floor temperature.

EXPANSION GAPS.Use expansion gaps to separate stuck from unstuck areas. PAVIGYMTM offers a range of solutions. Please browse through our catalogue or our web page www.pavigym.com
